#JoyRising – revolving daughters

Peter is driving Erin back to campus as I type.    We thoroughly enjoyed the long Thanksgiving weekend with her home. Next home will be Caitlin.  In just 12 days, she will finish her fall semester at Rollins and board a plane home from Florida for winter break!  We’ll have Cait all to ourselves for a week before Erin s back.

Sometimes family can’t be all together for Thanksgiving.  Caity gathered with Mom and Deb in Florida.  Erin, Peter and I snuggled in our Baltimore apartment with Jewel.  The magic of FaceTime brought us together for a time.  Then – like magic, our first Christmas Card of the season arrived…..and brought the whole day into perspective.  “As Long As We Have Family, We Have Everything.”

#JoyRising – ornaments

When you move — and you are living in a temporary apartment — everything you own, minus what you brought with you, is still in storage.

And when this period of your life — lasts longer than you expected — and seasons change — with Christmas coming — and all your decorations are in bins/in storage/in New Jersey…..   You Hafta Go Shopping!

Ornament Shopping!!  Ohhh – it was so much fun.  Peter, Erin and I — like Kids in a Christmas Candy Shoppe!

Don’t worry Caitlin, we will take you back there when you are home so you can select your special twinkly bits!
